I started playing Pokemon Black 2! \o\ I've only gotten my first badge so far (Cheren stopped wearing his glasses, omg), and my pokemon are all very weak. My starter is Oshawott. Was very tempted to pick Snivy again, but I already used Snivy in Black. I find all the connections with Black & White to be pretty cool. :D

Fire Emblem Awakening is coming out next month. I can't wait. I already have it pre-ordered, and I played through the demo a few times. |D;;

The graphics are pretty, I love the new pair up system, and goodness, the supports! Hahahaha, it looks like there will be confession scenes. I was going to create a male avatar for myself since I usually like to play as a guy in games, but I might create a girl instead so I can pair her off with Chrom or one of the other guys. It'll be like playing a strategy/dating-sim. XD;; The new classes are interesting, though I wonder how good they'll be. Battle clerics?! Clerics that can use axes?! I can't imagine a character having both high attack and high magic! Oh, but it's kind of like that for the strategist class too, hm. Trickster class?! What, they can use swords and staves?! Falcon Knights can't use swords, but they can use staves? Wow, this game is really mixing physical attack and magic. A healer on a pegasus...omg... That'd be very useful. But the Dark Pegasus skill sounds cooler. Lightning Speed (allows another turn after defeating an enemy) sounds really cool. 8D

I've already read and watched a lot of spoilers, haha. |D;; Whoops. But Lucina. <3333 She looks pretty awesome. I'm contemplating maybe cosplaying her in May. But then, that might be a walking spoiler, haha. Though I guess I could do the pre-reveal version. |D; (Then I'll have to consider if I have the skills to make her outfit... Soren's was okay since armor and capes weren't involved. I still don't know how to make something resembling armor.).

Speaking of Soren, I hope Soren will be available for North America. *___* Please be available!


I'm currently playing Fire Emblem Shin Monshou no Nazo (FE12). This is my third attempt, haha... I got up to chapter 8 in my 2nd attempt but then gave up. I restarted again last weekend, this time with my character named "Ryuu". He wears an eyepatch. :3;; I picked some different characters this time around, and I managed to level Rody! /o/ (Last time he got really sucky levels, so I had to drop him). So far, my team consists of Marth, Shiida/Caeda, Catria, Palla, My Unit (Ryuu), Nabarl, Rody, Feena, Yumina, Merric, and Linde. I usually like to use a lot of mages, but the mages in this game all have low Mag so far, and not so great speed either. ): I tried training Gordin, but... His speed is turning out too poor. -__-; Too bad a few characters I had on my FE11 team didn't make it in. (Like Ogma, Cain, Minerva... and my healer of choice is a captive in this game, so... OTL) I regret not training Julian this time. He's so necessary for all the chests I'm raiding. Though Marth can also open chests, pffft. That never ceases to amuse me. Hoping I'll finish this before FE13 is released!

Writing-wise, I decided to edit Bittersweet Sweetness. I started rereading from Part 1. |D;; I'm mostly just editing for grammar (and not for content, unless something feels off). I'm probably not going to reupload anything through. I'm thinking of maybe creating a pdf of the story once I finish it if anyone wants a copy. I don't know, haha. But yeah. Don't really feel like going through all three places where I've posted the fic and making replacements. Thinking of doing the same for Memories of the Future too, especially since I don't have copies of all the separate chapters for that fic in one place.

I was going to write a post about anime I'm currently following, but I never did write the post. -__-; Well, here's a short summary.

Yu Wo news to end this post. XD; Kill No More is being adapted into a manhua (heck yeah! dragons! 8D ) that can be ordered online starting 2/1 and Yu Wo will be publishing a new book soon which is scheduled for March. I would translate the title tentatively as "Contract of the Human Doll" or Doll Contract, I guess. It seems to be a horror story that involves ball-jointed dolls coming to life, from what I've read of the story that she's posted online. |D;; Yu Wo likes collecting ball-jointed dolls herself, so I guess that was her inspiration. One of the characters in this (possibly the protagonist) has a left eye that can see the paranormal. :3

Okay - added you on Skype and I'm DavidSnape007 on AIM.

*googles* Ooo... I like Gaius alright. /adds to list
Thanks for helping me find him! Now I'm really looking at art and I like Azur too!
And oh man, I might have my first Pegasus Knight ever... I'm thinking My Unit should hook up with Tiamo. /contemplates

I stuck to iron weapons too! In PoR/RD and FE12, I've been using steel (st. lance/poleax) or plain steel weapons the entire time. I am getting towards the end so I should contemplate using silver even though I never use them.

I'll give lots of love to Etzel, Cesare, Astram, and anyone else that doesn't make the final 12 <3

Awwww Ryuu ;-; Reclassing them to flying units meant that was the first time I liked a desert mission. \o/ All of the dracoknights.

They were and I insisted on using two of my paladins... at least Naesala was around haha to laugh at my stupidity.

My brother bought the original Shadow Dragon/New Mystery (the one with the old art... for the NES?) in Japan while we were on the trip so I'm curious to see how that is going XD I thought that was crazy too when I saw that she could use swords.

I gave Marth the boots since he must do EVERYTHING in a chapter. My fast units go off in their own group and every else moves along in the direction that Marth will go.
I'm ridiculous XD <3

My tastes in characters is very... picky? I like the attractive, short-haired ones or the really BA and intelligent ones. Haha, I thought of Shiraishi too. It's totally the haiiiirrrrrr ;)
Tiamo isn't too much, if that makes any sense? Like she's pretty, but in a more mature, simple way.

FE12 has been mostly steel yes, but I rarely use silver because I feel like they cost too much to break and they don't have many uses and I run into the problem of carrying so much stuff on each character :/

The second time I played through RD, I made sure to not put paladins on the desert mission team in Part 4. XD It's unavoidable I think in PoR. I'm too stubborn.
I had Naesala and Haar and Sothe and Micaiah (but I didn't use her) that could handle the desert. I kept the Greil Mercenaries together. Maaan, I don't remember much about what I did, but I know I tried to put 3-5 of my final party in each team so that they could get experience.

... Marth has to do ALL OF THE THINGS. Crazy Marth. :P

The Book-Off stores in Japan sell used games and he managed to find it during our Tokyo trip XDDD He was looking for the GBA ones, but he does have the NES.
Yeah, I believe it was the one that Shadow Dragon/New Mystery are from, but I'll have to double-check.
